Looking at the code commented out in
http://designr.sheridanc.on.ca/projects.php, I can't see where tl is
actually created, e.g.,
...
var tl = Timeline.create(...);
return tl;
Did you strip that out accidentally?

There's no way right now. But let me note down that for version 2.0.

Could you elaborate that a little more? Perhaps tell me about the
structure of your data.

Yes, you can override both the Javascript and the CSS code just by
adding your own code after you include exhibit-api.js. That's the wonder
of Web widgets. :-)
Cheers,
David
